2020 Nissan Frontier: The No-Nonsense Midsize Truck

The 2020 Nissan Frontier has continued its over-a-decade-and-a-half-long legacy of being the midsize truck that delivers bang for the buck. That said, it ceased to be its old self that had been lacking slightly in comfort. The beast in its new form packs a punch with its V6 engine plus 281 pound-feet torque and 310 horses. Besides, it brings to the table a slew of new comfort features.

The 2020 Nissan Frontier Looks Beyond the Stick Shift

For the trucking enthusiasts who rave over the stick shift, it is a bit of a disappointment. That said, it must be noted that the older Nissan Frontier was married to a 261 horsepower 4-liter engine. The new automatic carries 49 more horses, giving it the thump that it always deserved.

The Humble Beast Remains a Gas Miser

The 2020 Nissan Frontier borrows the 9-speed automatic from its big brother, Titan. The efficient combination of increased power and fuel economy results in an impressive 24 MPG highway and 18 MPG city.

The Truck Feels Powerful

Take it for a ride within the city limits and you’ll be forgiven if you mistake it for a Titan. Of course, it leaves a bit to be desired when you tread the highway, but at no point do you feel slow or sluggish. The truck handles the corners well, thanks to the software that extends a helping hand.

The off-road drive continues to be quite comfortable with its sturdy shocks and tires that are designed for rugged terrains. The steering retains the flavor of driving a truck, which most old-time truckers are bound to feel nostalgic about.

The Size Continues to be Ideal

For people who expect the truck to be a bundle of utility with the right amount of space, Nissan Frontier does more than a great job. The size makes it easy to park and drive around in the city, retaining the essence of a truck on long rides. If value for money is what you are after, it doesn’t get better than the 2020 Nissan Frontier.
